Macka for Madison Square Gardens

Macka-Toots video refreshing

Macka Diamond and Toots Hibbert teamed up on Wednesday for the video shoot of Don’t Bother Me, which is featured on Toots’ Grammy nominated album Light Your Light.

The video was shot in Kingston at the home of Bridget Brown who is the owner of Bridget Sandals. The shoot which was scheduled to start at six in the evening eventually started at nearly 9:00 p.m.
